Hi Karl
Well sure enough.. I was unaware that there was any such distinction, to
tell apart an attribute set at create time by createElement, from one that
is explicitly set by setAttribute. Ian the acid3 author has a comment
right there on 61. You assert that p.hasAttribute('class') must return
false, and if it didn't, the diagnostic string says "element had attribute
on creation." I assume you're interpreting the acid tests correctly since
you pored over the assert() conditions. That would tell you what types of
distinctions matter.
Maybe there is a JS problem in maersk where it is supposed to be setting
id using setAttribute, earlier on. That would be a plausible
alternative hypothesis that threads the needle, and returning null would
be correct.

I could use your help here.
Line 1680 is there because acid test 17 says that getAttribute of id should not
return the id unless it was set by setAttribute, or that is the way I
interpreted it at some point.
These various implicitMember functions are suppose to be exceptions, times when
you don't getAttribute unless you did an earlier setAttribute.
Same for "class" acid test 61.
Maybe I'm not interpreting the acid tests right,
maybe I just need someone else to take a second look.
I have acid3 in the github source, it is my version of the original page, but I
think it is true to that page, with my comments and changes of course.
